Festive packaging in Singapore and Malaysia

Festive packaging for CNY, Hari Raya, Mid-Autumn and Deepavali

Four festivals drive gifting in Singapore and Malaysia, and each one has its own box: cookie jars and pineapple tarts at Chinese New Year, kuih raya and kek lapis at Hari Raya, mooncakes at Mid-Autumn, and murukku and sweets at Deepavali.

Festive runs are short, seasonal and all due in the same few weeks. Size your boxes now, approve artwork early and request a quote; lead time is confirmed with the quote and counted from artwork approval.

Questions

Anything that depends on the print run, such as minimums and lead times, is confirmed with your quote.

Can I keep one box all year and change only the festive artwork?
Yes. A plain or lightly branded box with a printed sleeve over it covers several festivals with one box size. Sleeves are drawn to size like any other box.
What is the minimum order?
On request. Every box is made to order at your size and small batches are welcome. The firm minimum depends on the box, the board and the print run, and comes with your quote.
Is the packaging food safe?
Board grades and food-contact documentation come from the print partner’s board specification, and are on request. Tell us what touches the box (dry, oily or moist food) when you ask for a quote so we can match the board, or plan a liner.
What is the lead time?
On request. It is confirmed with your quote and counted from the day you approve the proof.
Can I get a sample first?
Samples are on request. Ask for one when you request a quote and we will tell you what is possible for your size and board.
Do I get a dieline?
Every box is drawn by our dieline engine at your exact inside size and board thickness, so there is no stock template to adapt. You see the flat dieline and a 3D fold in the configurator, production files (PDF, DXF and SVG) are generated from your order, and a dieline file for your own designer is available on request.
Do you make more than boxes?
Yes. The Makan Box range also covers paper cups, kraft paper bags, stand-up pouches, labels and stickers, noodle boxes, bento trays, sauce sachets and tingkat tins. Boxes are sized and drawn online; the rest of the range is quoted on request.
How do I order?
Request a quote with the size and quantity you need, or size the box yourself in the configurator first. A person replies with a firm price, minimum and lead time for your run.
